Colorado Rockies (4-6) at Arizona Diamondbacks (8-2), 3:55 p.m.

(Sports Network) - Dan Haren will try to win his second straight start and extend Arizona's seven-game winning streak in the process, as the Diamondbacks resume a three-game weekend set with the Colorado Rockies today at Chase Field.

Haren picked up his first win in an Arizona uniform on Monday, besting the Los Angeles Dodgers. The righty gave up three runs, just one earned, on six hits over six innings of a 9-3 victory after earning a no decision in his Diamondbacks debut on April 2.

Haren, 27, is 0-2 with a 5.40 earned run average in two career starts versus the Rockies.

The Diamondbacks won their seventh straight test on Friday, as Eric Byrnes, Orlando Hudson and Justin Upton each hit two-run homers in an 8-2 victory over the Rockies. Brandon Webb (3-0) won his third straight start after he gave up just two runs on four hits in eight innings.

For Upton, it was the fourth homer of the year for the 20-year-old, who is hitting .368 on the young season.

Hudson and Byrnes each scored twice and Chris Young went 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored for the Diamondbacks, who are on their longest winning streak since winning eight straight from July 21-28 of last year.

Arizona's current win streak began with a three-game sweep of the Rockies in Colorado last weekend, and the club's four-game winning run over Colorado comes on the heels of the Rockies sweeping the Diamondbacks out of the 2007 NLCS. Overall, the Diamondbacks have outscored the Rockies 28-7 in four games so far this season.

Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins each drove in a run for the Rockies, who were coming off a three-game sweep of Atlanta and lost the opener of a nine-game road trip. Jeff Francis (0-2) suffered his second loss in as many starts, as he was roughed up for seven runs on seven hits in five-plus innings.

Holliday had two hits to up his average to .308, though teammates Troy Tulowitzki (.175) and Brad Hawpe (.214) continue to struggle at the plate and combined to go 0-for-6 in the loss.

Left-hander Franklin Morales will make his 10th career start and second of this season today for Colorado. Morales went 3-2 with a 3.43 ERA last year for the Rockies and earned a no decision in his season debut on Sunday. The 22- year-old faced the Diamondbacks for the first time in his career and hurled six shutout frames, holding Arizona to just two hits and three walks.

Prior to today's game, Arizona will unveil its 10th Anniversary Team. Nominees include Mark Grace, Matt Williams, Byrnes, Steve Finley, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling.
